Previously on Tengaged's Next Top Model, the competition began with 13 models who moved into their Top Model apartment in New York City. At the challenge, Jordan blew the competition away earning herself the win, as well as performing well at the photo shoot. Chloe was revealed as the most popular girl to the public via the Vogue Girl but was overshadowed at elimination when Brendina and Jessie came to blows. In an under-the-radar victory, Alexandria took home first call-out, while Kylie and Tequila landed in the bottom two. In the end, Tequila's inability to follow the weeks theme got her sent home. 12 girls remain, who will be eliminated this week?
Keep the drama and confessionals up at the house. This is a place for you to express your thoughts and feelings of the competition, as well as interact with your fellow competitors. Seeing your feelings really makes this a much more fun game to host, so keep it up.
+ + CHALLENGE + +
In light of the recent events that occurred at the previous elimination, I feel like the house is in need of some serious bonding time. In the modelling industry, you won't always be working alone and will often be either paired up, or be working in a group of other models for campaign shoots. This week, you will be split up into random groups of 4, and will have to work together to submit ONE photograph with 4 models in it, each resembling one of you. It is your job to assign the models in the photograph to one another, so communication is key.
Discussion regarding the photographs will ONLY occur via the mail tab on Tengaged and NOT through any other alternative sites such as Skype. Additionally, I must be included in all discussions/chats regarding the challenge.
The team with the best photograph as a whole will be the winners of the challenge, and within that photo, the best singular model will receive an extra special prize which will be revealed later on.
Now as I said last week, the winner of the challenge would receive a prize. Jordan, as the winner will receive an advantage in this week's challenge. Within her group, Jordan will have FIRST CHOICE over her choice of model within the photograph and additionally, her group will have 24 hours EXTRA to submit their shot, not only allowing them to see the already-submitted photos, but allow them more time to discuss and deliberate with each other.
The groups were decided earlier on by random.org and are as follows:
Group #1:
+ Brendina
+ Hailey
+ Jessie
+ Kylie
Group #2:
+ Alexandria
+ Anuthida
+ Jordan
+ Kallie
Group #3:
+ Chloe
+ Nastasia
+ Nina
+ Ximena
This means that Group #2 will have the 24 hour advantage.
+ + PHOTO SHOOT + +
Last week we gave you guys a fairly specific theme, and this week we wanted to do the opposite and give you a little more freedom with what you post. This weeks theme is ROCKS, so we want to see you posing in front of a rocky backdrop, be it at the beach, in the mountains WHEREVER it's totally up to you. In addition, you will be modelling for designer STEPHANE ROLLAND so I advise you to look him up before you go looking for photos, so you have an idea of what you are looking for. He is known for is high fashion and dramatic designs, so that is what we want to see.
If you are ever struggling to find photos, or need guidance at all throughout the competition, my fellow judges and I are always willing to help, so don't be afraid to message us individually if you're worried about being sent home.
REQUIREMENTS:
+ Must NOT be a beauty shot (shoulders up) - we want to see your gorgeous bodies!
+ Must feature rocks in the backdrop (obviously).
+ Photos from ANTM seasons will not be tolerated under any circumstan
REQUIREMENTS:

+ Photos from ANTM seasons will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
+ Photos from previous TNTM seasons will be penalised, however as this game has been going on for so long, I will let you know if a photo has been used previously, and allow you time to change your photograph.
+ No runway photos will be tolerated under any circumstances unless specified.
If you are having trouble finding high fashion photos either:
1. Search for editorials from fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, I-D, L'Officiel etc.
2. Search for fashion models such as Lara Stone, Gemma Ward, Cara Delevigne, Liu Wen, Daria Werbowy, Joan Smalls etc.
3. Search for designers such as Versace, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Vera Wang, Miu Miu etc.
+ + VOGUE GIRL + +
Vogue Girl is always a controversial part of the competition, and is often the difference between staying in the competition and going home. Each week, a poll will be put up with all of the girls on it, for the public to vote on. The winner of the poll will have a significantly less chance of going home that week and in the entire process.
I do the Vogue Girl polls as it allows me to not only see who is popular with the public (which is important as a role model), but if choosing to spam, shows your heart and dedication for this competition, something which I greatly appreciate. Once again, the result of this poll DOES and WILL have an effect on eliminations, so I urge you all to take it seriously.
Last week we had very few votes in the poll, so I want to see all of you girls step it up to try and win it this week otherwise you will be at risk of going home!
+ + DEADLINE + +
The deadline for both the challenge and the photo shoot is Midnight EST, Friday the 19th August, unless you are part of Group #2 of the challenge, in which case your challenge isn't due until Midnight EST, Saturday the 20th August, however your photo shoot deadline is still the 19th. Any photos not posted by this point, or posted after the deadline will be heavily penalised.
If you have any questions or queries, feel free to message me.
I have chosen this image bc she looks stunning n high fashion, thus implementing the rocks and stephanie rolland as I can see this dress as a similar style to the ones in this collection.
I chose this photo because I think it represents Rolland's tendency to style in black and white, and captures his desire for dramatic couture looks. It also fits the rock theme for the challenge.
After doing some research of Stephane I noticed that he liked to use a lot of black and white and thats why I went with the choice of black fabric, he also seems to be a grown designer so I went with a long gown! Stephane goes with more couture looks and I love how the back is open in the dress and the sleeves add an edginess that makes it stand out and look like it could come out of one of his collections.
When researching Stephane's silhouette, I noticed very sheik white avant garde-ish pieces. So I wanted to use that aspect of his designs. I also wanted to look for a very dramatic and scenic backdrop with a model standing on rocks.
